Hi everyone

I'm trying to install osc V4 on Windows 10 with xampp. I've installed xampp, and created a blank database in phpmyadmin. When installing osc, I get the error  "It seems like you are using Apache under Windows as Webserver. osCommerce will only work under linux." but all prerequisites are ticked. It then moves on to the database access section.

Database host - localhost. Database name - the one I just created. Username and password is where I get stuck. There was no option to create a username or password. I've tried root and a blank password but it still won't connect

I got this far by following the post here https://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/497742-how-to-install-osc-v4-on-xampp/

What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated

TIA

Ian

Hi again

After a few more attempts, I'm still stuck but the error message is access denied for user <user>@ 'localhost' (using password YES)

It's a warning, not an error. You can use osCommerce under Windows but we don't guarantee it will work fine.

You have to enter database user and password here. They are managed by mysql\mariadb utils. By default the username is "root" and the password is blank

Hi there, I also installed osCommerce v4 on Windows (xampp), it works fine. But I have trouble when I moved it to hosting (cPanel), just showing a blank page, seems that the resource still load from localhost as attached screenshot.

I have set database connection in files

includes/configure.php
admin/includes/configure.php

I dont have any idea what to config next, please help. Thanks :)
